CHICAGO TEACHER UNION TYRANTS PLAY THEIR UNION CARD AND STRIKE. THESE TEACHERS ARE THE HIGHEST PAID IN THE COUNTRY!

BTW: Obama Clan... Occupiers support strike of nation’s highest-paid teachers! BUT OF COURSE!!

The average teacher
who retired in 2011 after 30 or more years of employment—what passes
for a full career in the public sector—had a final salary of $105,888
and will receive an annual guaranteed pension of $78,576,” Biggs wrote.
“The salary puts the average Chicago teacher in the top 5% or so of
workers nationwide, while even fewer private sector workers will receive
a pension that generous.”

But Rachel Unterman, a member of Occupy Chicago, said that public
teachers in Chicago have neither fair compensation nor adequate working
conditions.

“They are being asked to work a longer day and they have not been
offered appropriate compensation for that,” she said in an interview
with The Daily Caller News Foundation. “What they are striking for now
is better working conditions and better learning environments for the
students.”

When told that Chicago Public Schools teachers were highly
compensated when compared to not just other teachers, but all employees
nationwide, she responded that this was just evidence that public
teachers everywhere were insufficiently compensated.

While children across the country have returned to school for another year,
approximately 400,000 students in Chicago have been forced out of the
classroom for four days -- and counting -- as a result of a union-boss-ordered
teacher strike in the country's third largest school district.

The
strike has forced parents and guardians to scramble to find adequate supervision
for their children by taking unscheduled time out of work or making last-minute
arrangements with relatives, churches, or daycare centers -- if they're
lucky.

And if the union power brokers' strong-armed tactics succeed, it's
not just today's children who will suffer.

Union bosses reportedly
ordered the strike not primarily over salaries, but to protest modest
reforms to make bad teachers more accountable to parents and
principals.

Imagine what the union bosses would do if their iron-clad
grip on schools were truly in jeopardy.

Of course, school-age children in
Chicago have long suffered as a result of the Chicago Teachers Union hierarchy's
iron grip on city and state politics.

Even 25 years after U.S.
Secretary of Education Bill Bennett named the Chicago public school system the
worst in the country, reading scores for elementary and middle school students
haven't budged.

The strike comes at a time when local budget problems
have driven some cities and towns to bankruptcy.

That's why reform-minded
legislators and governors across the country are looking to reign in union
bosses' monopoly bargaining powers that corrupt our politics.And make
no mistake, this strike is enabled by the teacher union hierarchy's forced
unionism powers.

By extracting forced fees from teachers and
funneling that cash into city and state politics, teacher union bosses will
threaten to withhold their massive electioneering warchest from politicians who
would stand up to them.

It's no wonder the Chicago Democrat political
machine has long worked hand-in-hand with union bosses.

If Chicago and
Illinois elected officials ever want to pass meaningful education reform or
restore fiscal sanity to their budgets, they ought to take a long, hard look at
the corrupting effects of monopoly bargaining.

Reform will only be
possible by breaking the teacher union hierarchy's special privileges that
empower them to corrupt our politics and crush local and state
budgets.

First, teachers -- and other civil servants -- should have Right
to Work protections.

A Right to Work law would protect teachers who
don't want to abandon their students and don't support the teacher union
hierarchy's radical political agenda.

Second, the government-sector
monopoly bargaining powers that drive this madness ought to be
curtailed.

Just like in Wisconsin -- where teacher union militants staged
a "sick-out" to protest these very reforms.

We're seeing again in
Illinois what happens when the union tyrants are in charge. It's time to fight
back.
